Software Art
What is Software Art? Software Art provides an interesting framework »describing not merely software used to produce art, but rather software itself as the artwork« (Cox, 2007, p. 147). The naming of Software Art gives already a very specific idea about the topics. In contrast to that other movements that happened in the beginning of the 00er where much broader in their focus. E.g. New Media Art. But the interesting thing about Software Art is the specific focus on Software. Seeing Software as an object of study. What is of most interest for this thesis is the framework and the approach that Software Art chooses.
The approach of Software Art
- process based ness
Software Art is running, is in motion, but not necessarily visibly.
- Software and it’s semiotics
- Software not as a tool
It is acknowledging the role of Software in the cultural manner. Not only looking at Software as a pragmatic / neutral tool to execute algorithms for software developers.
Software Art marked a shift from *pure syntax* to *something semantic, something that is aesthetically, culturally and politically charged*. (Cramer, 2003)
Why is it different from Generative Art?
The interaction with the software itself and why it is important

process based approaches
Software Studies
Argument: Software Arts can be seen as a reaction to the limited interaction with the tools in Generative Arts
- History of Software Art & Generative Art
- Software Art and its process based approach
- Software as the main subject of research
